But enough from us—the searching pen of a “Churchman” has again taken the bankrupt hire ling and Iris villain master in hands—and'if their consciences are not “scared as with a hot iron,” then must they feel under the withering rebuko ho has given them from his caustic and well-directed pen. Wo stated In our last that John Halbert is an abolitionist. We now repeat it, and call tho atten tion of tile people to tho matter. John Halbert belongs to that fanatical class.of men who wish to abolish southern slavery, who, without..weighing tlie deleterious effects of such a measure, would let loose upon vhe community tlie shoal of these thievish blacks. In the abstract, we are all oppo sed to servitude; but tho evil existing, are we to remedy it by incurring ten fold greater ones! Are wo to throw tho rein of southern thraldoTh upon the mechanics and laborers to ho plundered of their hard earnings by a multitude of idle, thievish and ignorant vagabonds, and this to gratify tho mis guided or wicked zeal of a few fanatics! Tho'im policy & inexpediency of such a measure must be apparent'to all, and yet John Halbert, the itchy public aspirant, is one of these persons. Let tho honest and, reflecting -citizen pause before ho reposes office and authority in such a man. Con sider thenccessary’consoquoncos of a general adop tion of this detestable doctrine, and consider that Haibort is anxious to effect-it. Are you "willing to make the stupid, unlettered and depraved negro your neighbor and advocate; , arc you ; willing to extend tho right of suffrage; to shard your civil offices, and fill up your, public trusts with such men! If you are, cast your vote for Halbert; give him tho power and yon shall bo gratified to the full; if not, givey our suffrage to tho democratic nominee; show to the world your detestation of these abominable principlqsf,teach tho drone who rests his claima to your suppQrt in 'Abolitionism,, that abolitionism, is the doctrirarof tho doctrine which,policy &goed sense alike condemn. Let the people see to it. —lf the citizens of Cum berland county want the Recorder and Clerk’s of fice to be placed completely under the control 'of honest John M. Woodbum and the Eges, they will vote for Joseph Bauman—for it is notorious that this individual lives, moves, and has his existence through them, and is a mete tool in their hands It is these men who first brought out the poor im becile!—and it is they who are new urging so. stren uously his election. We repeat, see to it;Democrats, if you do" not want thattoffico placed in the hands of these fed eral demagogues. Vote for'iho regular democratic nominee,' Willis Foulk, and thus defeat the vile schemes of-tbeinfamous crew. . ... Halbert feels Very sore because we intimated in n former, numhey that.be was—t-Azr I !—and the lying vagabond ot' the Herald asserts that in. so doing we evinced nn hostility-to the mechan ics of our county.

This is'their invariable cus tom'.,; They slandered Thomas Jefferson, Simon Snyder, Andrew Jackson,' 'Marlin Van Burcn and David R.

Heed them not. . ■ Bewareof Spurious Tickets. —Democrats' the.enemy will endeavor to deceive you with spurious tickets. They will have them plant-, ed with a portion of the democratic candi dates upon them and some of their own mop —they will, perhaps, have some with the names of the. democratic candidates wrong spelled. Look-well.-before you deposite your vote. Examine closely, and be sure that your ticket contains the names of Ar rau am S. M’Ktnney, John Zimmerman, George Sanderson, Isaac Anoney, Willis Foulk, Alexander M. Kerr, Samuel Eck les and Thomas H. Britton. " Nothing is too base or mean for the,antimasonic federal buckshotonian crew to attempt—we there fore again urge upon you the necessity ot examining carefully your tickets. The last Herald charges the Auditor General with having refused, to pay the troops \yho marched to Harrisburg hist winter. Haying no evidence of the kind in any other paper, or from any other ( sourcc, we are disposed to doubt the truth "of Cfabb’s allegation. We rather suspect, the .cabal who surround that pure moralist, coined the story for political purposes—the Herald** disclaimer to the contrary, notwith standing, Messrs Sanderson & C.ornman:—The Bth of October is fast'approaching* and it is’not im proper that the people of the county should urn, derstand how-old Mifilin feels in regard thereto. This staunch old township will well maintain her democratic character. She never swerves from lur duty;.but recognizes with equal readi ness cur foes be they nominated or volunteers.' A foe to democracy is politically a foe to repub lican-Mifllin—let him 'ask her support under what color or name he pleases. A strong, full, show the onward march of democratic principles and democratic measures. The illiberal policy and narrow minded behaviour of the enemies of democracy have long been discarded from the tree-thinking aiidlhlelligeVirsons ol'old MiflWn; •The seleciiohs of our convention meet 'with unqualified approbation from our* democratic friends. Not a murmur or single expression of dissrttisfaction is uttered. With us the volunteer candidates arc regarded as foes—known gener ally tc have arrayed themselves, hitherto, with ourppponcnlj?. .Even if, heretofore, they-had professed derhofnitTc conduct now belies them. To oppose the regular nomi nees is enough to secure their comb lunation,—— They can, at lust,, only obtain .the whig vote. Every week proclaims new aspirants; four uic fint already,, ami all so far as \ve know them, without merit or even common respectability -Who,-by- the by, is Joseph Bauman? Let our •friends be active, and all must succeed well. - Yours tiA:. A friend from Mifflin risks who is Joseph Bauman? We will tell him; Originally from Lancaster county, he'sellled in Carlisle; left it and took up his abode, for a time, at Mount Holly, returned to Carlisle; where he remained a few years, under the denomination of **S'dye Doctor/' and then flitted for Bine Grove furnace, where--he continues, at present; under the fed eral sway of the Egesr Without being known to the democratic family as a constituent part ’—the mere creaUire'of political_ caprice—he ap plied to Governor Porter for the office of Reg ister; and having failed of success, he now com. mits himself to the public keeping; and, relying upon personal!popularity, he awaits tfye occa sion tosctve his fellow citizens, as Recorder and cleric of the Courts. Now, without dispar agement to this gentleman-or a disposition to wound his feelings, wc boldly affirm, ’he is no. toriottsly deficient.in an essential requisite of a public officer—common sense. The Doctor is a weak, sillj •minded .man, totally disqualified for any official function; the mere instrument -of designing men, who urge him-to such publiy essays merely to gratify their wanton propensi ties, or to effect an end, to which other and sem sible men, would hot lend themselves. Wholly inoffensive both asa man and pohticiaivand de ficient in the requisites which form an efficient officer, it would be a kindness in ,his friends to induce him to .withdraw. He possesses no .single claim,or mcrigor fitness, which recommends him to the support of the people. Atessra.

Suffice it to say that not,hing biit a sense of duty to the public, to myself and family, causes me at this, time to notice the vile abuse and wanton ..slanderous articles, in the Herald and Expositor.of last week., In the first place, the paragraph under the editorial head in said paper I pronmmcc, nfcnllection, of base unwarrantable slander, and" as. for the questions’over the signature of “1,.

Correspondence of the Jhncrlcun Volunteer. New York, Sept. 24, 1839. I regard Wall Street as the financial baro meter by which merchants, bankers, brokers &c., are apprised of the true state and con dition of the commercial and political atmos phere. There may be those among your ■readers who,are not aware of the existence, of such a spot, nor of the transactions of which it is the daily scene. Be it known unto such that Wall street is the place where are congregated most ot the banks, brokers’ offices, newspaper establishments & other insignia of magnificent grandeur for which this great bustling, busy city is re nowned. It is the place jvhere bankers daily resort to rcgulatfc the rales of exchange, and to adopt measures for Jjjreatingl honest men-out of a large portion, of their honest means. It is the p)ace where brokers repair to carry those measures into full and com plete execution. It is the place where spec ulators crave such supplies as will en : able them.to monopolize (he necessaries of life; andthuastfti've,-«d/i6i7i(ni,thcim]us trious poor. It is, in fide, the place where merchants, financiers, editors, apple w-omcn, lawyers, loafers, smaU’bccr pedlars, politi cians and pickpockets are huddled together in the must admirable confusion, betwixt the •hours of 10 and 2 eacUday.cach in the dis charge of his or her peculiar official func tions, and'all alike,, in-their own estimation, possessing an honesty of intention and puri r ty ol motive “rarely equalled and never ex celled.” if a pressure is felt in the money market a remedy is sought here. If any mystery exists in*maUcrs of finance it is first developed here. If, any change is taking place'in,public sentiment it is first seen lutfej and whether tile commercial and political atmosphere is darkened by clouds or illumin-. cd by sunshine. Wall street bears accurate indicia ol its pruisc condition. I bavc-takcn tho_liberty of writing this, long-preface to the announcement of the short faet that the stock of the U. S. Bank, which was selling two years since lor 125 c is now glutting the market at ,101.1 a 104. The recent movements nf that institution have opened the eyes of even its friends.- Its ex tensive issue of post notes in Boston&berc, by which a false aspect was given to trade, ■and by which business men were lulled into a false security, has had a tendency to ren der it peculiarly obnoxious to (he well found ed suspicions and distrust of the commercial community. A member of a very noted and Wealthy firm in South street near Wall, whom I had long known ns an uncompro mising Whig and friend of the monster, an nounced in my hearing a few days since, the entire and radical change which had taken place in his sentiments since, the delusive policy and subtle treachery of the U. States Bank had become apparent. This circum stance, together with an abundance of others which aregoccurring daily under my obser vation, are symptomatic of returning reason in a' large portion of the Mammoth Bank party. The fact is, "the U. S. Bank must go down, and with it must bccngulplicd Henry Clay and all his glittering hopes of reaching the chair of State. Another fact is, the In dependent Treasury must be established,, and with if the lasting honor and imperisha ble fame of Marlin Van Huron. Fine gen try, and “talented Senators” may turn up -their handsome aristocratic noses at this pre diction, and fancy editors.may affect to treat’ it with derision, while they are, neverthe less, compelled to contemplate its too cer tain and unavoidable reality.- OiiFi'iday'la-srttvoßT-itislrQaeen-aTriYcdi having been out IT days, and {in, Saturday the Great Western departed. On board the former came Mr. Ingham, who was sent out to Europe by some company in Rennsylva- -nttrttrcndehvur-to iiegntilftc a loan. It is •said" that lie returns-without accompjjphing his object. The aspect of alfairs in England is not materially changed by (Ids arrival.— Cotton speculators and stock jobbers are ‘‘suffering some’? Its they undoubtedly ought, while .agriculture was .never ..more prosper ous and encouraging.- "-Daniel Webster js non cst inventus: Probably he is'shooting grouse' among the ’ brais and mountains of bonn}’Scotland. , It is-openly rumored that the Queen is to bestow her hand upon Prince Albert of Saxe Coburg,. The pretty little virgin would undoubtedly make him a charm-" ing helpmate. But my advice to her would bo not to assume the silken bonds. A King is a humbug—-but to be the subject of a young, beautiful, tender, maidenly little monarch like Victoria—there is something inspiring and poetic in, the very, notion.—- Democrat as .1 am, I can’t say that ! should uige any very serious objections. Mr. Hen derson, Texian agent to. France-and Eng land; also came passenger in the “Queen,” and brings with him from both those nations the recognition of Texas. - I have just rottm to add that a very de structive fire-occurred yestevday.oonsuming the National Theatre, thi-ee.elcgant churches and-aeyeral private houses. The loss is said to amount to about S260;000‘ A small por tion .only was insured.

It is proof clear and indisputable. He has allowed, by his condiicfv* the-hollowness of his profes sions. And, is any farther corroboration needed? It presents itself in the flagrant inconsistency-he";evinces in supporting for Oflice, at this moment, the very kind of man he was most loud in denouncing. Not only did ho aid in bringing before the community men of notoriously intempcratcand debauch ed practices,-but lie rccominemls with voice and pen such individuals, to the public no tice. Hand in hand,’ slander and denuncia tion, have'been weekly blazoned forth from that print—the former most foul and malig nant defamation ,of irreproachable reputa tions; the latter, a hissing outcry against vice and immorality. Hut mark’ the meannessof the hypocrisy—a hypocrisy so vile and .shallow, that its rottenness offended every ■nostril bcfore.it’could peivertlor deludenny man’s judgment. The silliness and weak ness of the ranting impostor is strangely dif ferent from common scoundrels. They usu ally plan their schemes with craft and fore sight.- But this witless knave, dripping with corruption, swipgs in the very halter he had prepared for honest men. The vagabond mercenary verifies profes sion, by action directly its opposite—decry ing intemperance,he recommends to the pub lic the rumsuckcr; fiercely indignant at the inebriate, he supports and nominated for of fice the very manufacturer of the poisonous .spirit—the wholesale distiller. Tn the opin ion of this manikin, to injure one’s self is aft’ unpardonable social infraction;but to turn the maddening stream of intoxication, bubbling in the boiling fury of its dissolving elements, into the public throughfare and the private byway—to impel from an cxhaustless source, an inundating flow of- the destructive drug on the wholo community; to unman, shatter and paralyze social energy and activity is a harmless" practice—a sjn, expiated by the penance of suffering defeat on a political race coufscT ~ 1 Thus far, the imposture of the mangy hire ling has been exposed on the strength of his own declarations, his gross incongruities,and his, public moral delinquencies. Now we advance a step farther, and laying aside the weapons of defence, adopt the language of accusation, and affirm the exact applicabili ty-of every lino and sentence hitherto utter ed, to the tortuous windings of this wormy cormorant. An itinerant hireling and shill ing politician; a gambler and drunkard; sivi fuller aml whoremonger, lie yet nomho rs other crimes more dark and loathsome. We may yet tear the veil from these coarse vil lanies. The sensitive uneasiness betrayed by the yelping tool, and his lieuce howßng.underan insinuation of a dishonest interruption of Ms mercantile.pursuits,.spring not from the be lief of- conscious injury. Let not" the stbobthhess of "his. un.ru filed conscience- be disturbed by a shadowy spectre. Let not his honesty "he startled at the-thought of a phantasm. What if it should be boldly af firmed that fraudulent bankrupt is 'not an unapt appellation? What if it .be shown that dishonesty marked the insolvency?—i Who dare deny il? Will the haggard de bauchee call to mind h journey to the west? Will he remember the decaying state of his home business? - Will he hear in mind the result of that adventure?. Will he recollect the land speculation? Will he keep in mind the gratified expressions lic,.u(tcred on his return at his bargain? And'will he above all recall the startling (ruth, that, in making aii assignment, this distant ownership glided from his recollection? that no return appears of this “neat little, business transaction?”— Come, ye defrauded and wronged credit.ns, compel tills unconscionable reprobate to vomit forth,his ill-gotten and faithlessly de tained riches! make him disgorge it. Con veying the trashy-skeleton—the merest rem nant of his hired wealth,to an accessary of his dishonesty—he now stands ready to vindicate his villany by the oath which such (unstrung • iagrates never scruple to-take. Haying gathered together the available fragment-o'f his squandered substance—bankrnplcvgrin ning in his bloated face—he pushed for the west T—far from home and the reach of the creditor—there to invest it, to the shameless' cheat of his coiifidingji'icmls ami-unsuspect ing benefactors. . • ; ' Does any man suspect the course iminbr ality which this wasted debauchee embodies?

To indulge the wildest freaks and boldest extravagance iiC untamed.passions,'are but the least of.this -at'' * ■ - creature’s monstrous crimes. To wanton in the fearful brutality of maddening appetites; to riot in the illicit love and frantic orgies ■of the shameless harlot; to prostitute, habit ually, in the anus of unchaste love, the hus band’s vows and the fatherts sacted obliga tions; and to carry sl\iime and disgrace to the hallowed innocence of a neglected and (lis hooorcdTamily, has been the industrious and inveterate course of this graceless lecher.

The betrayal of confidence, the vileness of besetting the vir tuous wife in the absence of her natural pro tector; the fearless ingress to the domestic chamber of the helpless innocent—the anx ious importunity and subtle wiles mark the savage ferocity of .the demon incarnate, The loveliness of youth, intelligence, respec tability, brilliant hopes, fell a sacrifice to the gross fewdness of ..this, this wretch, who hath dared slanderously to belabor others for moral delinquencies. Kind reader, do you yet suppose this bes tial libertine capable 6f a true or trust worthy sentiment? Truth and lie know not each other! His slanders are as hollow as his hcayt is depraved. The impotent ravings and angry, menaces of the scourged hireling awaken a.further fact.... Let him fret and rage Till . his. foul lungs cease to blow. Let him disgorge every drop of his malignant spleen, and let him unfold the “stirring scenes” about Harper’s row—then one, perchance, will not escape. Nay, not indeed a “stirring scene,” but one which the sycophantic inebriate may well remember. A long, lank, powerless form, lay stretched before his own door helpless ns a babe. Was (his a stirring scene?... Mid-, night brooded in sullen gloom; a silence s.till as the "grave, spread around. No voice or living thing broke on the quiet calm; but stop! ever and anon, the deep snorlings, in coherent'ravings, and bitter groans of a brute, disturbed the stillness.: It was a cap tive nianacled-in-the bonds of intemperance. It was a nightly reveller—a beastly baccha nalian, .hoarsely mourning in-the keen an guish of a'frantic delirium and the piercing pains of a strained, ahnsed and sinking na ture. Can any doubt his identity.. Go ask the itinerant hireling. . Suclv Is and has been'the slimy track (raced by the dishonest bankrupt. Begot ten in the womb of slander; he was born in to-the world- an-empty -fool-and croaking caitiff. Shame and desolation have travelled close on his footsteps. Wormy, wasted and idiotic—a shapeless mass of living nvatter— the very incarnation of"vice and ( crime—he embodies .every"jthing low, despicable aiid worthless—staining, by contact, the streams of purity ami innocence, he has-habitually pandered to'his coarse and inordinate appe tites, from the public virtue. P-ing crime on crime, and villany .on villanv, till (ho huge mass conceals his rancid frame by (he grossness of its^bulk; yet. from rhese putres cent defences he steals forth to blush and blacken (lie unguarded magazines of moral excellence and purity. Hired, paid and kept, to calumniate and cloud, the reputation of the honest and respectable, he well supports the character he was bribed to represent.— He stands forth a shocking exemplar of mor al depravity and shattered imbecility, Vain, silly and nialicious;an ingralc and simpleton, we leave him the foulest pile of flesh and hones that Inis ever annoyed, for. a long pe riod, the presence of morality ami virtue. ..There is. no system of -government in ,lhc world so simple ns our own; and yet of all political systems it is the most delicate in its structure, and requires the greatest caution and circumspection on the part of those who govern and. direct its exquisite machinery. Like the sensitive plant it withers under the rude "Touch of its foes, and revives and expands only, when beneath tile guardian protection of those who watch with lively in terest and joyful emotions its tender buds and lovely flowers, ovcr.which the Goddess' of liberty hovers and smiles. A system therefore upon which hang the hopes of the world, needs to be an object of our greatest solicitude’. If equality and de lights have any charms to attract and bind us, then are ivc bound by every considera tion—by the memory of the past, and the glowing anticipations of the future—to take means in order that 'opi-glorious government may with ease and facility, perform its na tive functions, and-carrv out the designs of th jse stern and indomitable republicans, who, amid the storms and tempests of an arcliy and war, stood firmly, upon the nick ' of tVnth, and embodied.those,.principlesw;hich are now the birthright of every American, and which gladden the heart of the exile, and the worn and.wearied stranger the mo -ment-he touches-the-soil,—which-is hallowed by the footsteps of,freedom. The past, by its brazen tablets, tells how ' tenaciously the people,have clung to their cherished institutions: and nroolaims in a voice that cannot be misunderstood or si lenced, that under the guidance of JefKfson, Monroe, Madison and Jackson, they have shown themselves to be the firm friends and unwavering adherents of.the principles of our sires. . No great design was ever carried effectu ally iiito execution, without some organized .plan having, been devised or laid dbwn to direct those operations which, were intended to bring about the desired result. Our fore fathers,! n -their daring resistance t a the man dates of a cruel mother, rushed not blindly into difficulties and dangers. Long ere a Blow was struck, or the,green sod of LeS ington was stained with the’warm blood of the free, —had the \vise of the land marked out the course which was proper to pursue, and which in their, estimation would; as the result proved,"effectuate our.deliverance— and break with'a giant arm,'the cords that were cast -around us. So must we, if our desire is to preserve our liberties unimpair-; •b’ri>-ndo))t a systematical plan whereby that great end can be Secured.
